To do maintenance on the muffler
WARNING: The muffler decreases the noise
level and points the exhaust gases away
from the operator. The exhaust gases are
hot and can contain sparks. This can cause
fire if pointed against dry and flammable
material.
WARNING: Mufflers with catalytic converters
become hot during operation. Risk of burn or
fire. This also applies at idle speed. To
examine if your product has a catalytic
converter, refer to
18 .
Note: Clean the spark arrester screen weekly on
mufflers without a catalytic converter and on mufflers
with a catalytic converter this must be done monthly.
1. Stop the engine and let the muffler become cool.

Remove dirt from the inlet and outlet of the muffler

CAUTION: If the spark arrester screen is
frequently blocked, it can be a sign that

decreased. Speak to your servicing
dealer to examine the muffler. A blocked
spark arrester screen causes
overheating and results in damage to the
cylinder and piston.
